    Protocol

    Specificity / Sensitivity

    Daxx Antibody detects endogenous levels of total Daxx protein.

    Species Reactivity:

    Human, Mouse, Rat

    Source / Purification

    Polyclonal antibodies are produced by immunizing animals with a synthetic peptide corresponding to a region around residue 260 of Daxx. Antibodies are purified by protein A and peptide affinity chromatography.

    Background

    Daxx is a ubiquitously expressed protein that was originally identified through a yeast two-hybrid screen as an interactor with the cytoplasmic domain of Fas. It was found to enhance Fas-mediated apoptosis and activate the JNK pathway (1). However, additional studies have revealed that Daxx is actually a nuclear protein localizing to promyelocytic leukemia oncogenic domains (PODs) (2,3). Nuclear interactions have since been observed with CENP-C (4), Pax3 (5), DNA methyltransferase I (6) and chromatin-associated proteins, including histone deacetylase II, H2A, H2B, H3, H4 and Dek (5). Roles for Daxx have been suggested in transcriptional repression and cell cycle control. Loss of Daxx in mice leads to embryonic lethality with extensive developmental apoptosis, suggesting a role for Daxx directly or indirectly in suppressing cell death (5). Furthermore, inhibition of Daxx expression using RNAi has confirmed Daxx to be anti-apoptotic and to repress transcriptional activity of targets including NF-κB and E2F-1 (7).
